Matchday two in the UEFA Nations League will see Ukraine target back-to-back wins when they face Georgia at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena on September 28.

Georgia Aiming to Bounce Back Following Home Loss

Romaz Svanadze will hope for a response from his Georgia side on Monday when they host Ukraine in the Nations League. Georgia were flat in a recent 1-0 loss against Northern Ireland, with the influential Khvicha Kvaratskhelia guilty of missing a penalty.

Their results this calendar year have been encouraging, avoiding defeat in four of their last five.

They have, however, failed to keep clean sheets in four of their previous five at home. Georges Mikautadze will lead the line after registering three goal involvements for Villarreal in 2026-27. Otar Mamageishvili has left the camp due to an injury.

Georgia predicted lineup vs Ukraine (4-3-3): Marmardashvili; Kakabadze, Dvali, Goglichidze, Lochoshvilli; Kochorashvili, Mekvabishvili, Kharesbashvilli; Kvernadze, Mikautadze, Kvaratskhelia

Ukraine Chasing Successive Wins

Andrea Maldera’s Ukraine enjoyed an excellent start to the Nations League last week, holding their nerve despite being reduced to ten men to beat Hungary 1-0.

Ukraine have now won three straight internationals since losing a World Cup playoff against Sweden in March. The nation have also shown excellent defensive quality with four clean sheets in five internationals in 2026. Danylo Sikan scored his second international goal in the recent win, and the striker has now registered four goals in his last nine starts.

Oleksandr Nazarenko will be unavailable due to suspension on Monday, and Volodymyr Brazhko is a fitness concern after being withdrawn at halftime last week.

Ukraine predicted lineup vs Georgia (4-3-3): Riznyk; Krupskyi, Zabarnyi, Matviyenko, Mykolenko; Sudakov, Ocheretko, Bondar; Tsygankov, Sikan, Vanat
